BIG DISAPPOINTMENT2008-09-16
I SURE AM GRATEFUL I PURCHASED THE 3 YEAR SERVICE CONTRACT!

I have had this TV since December of 2006 and now have a second service call scheduled. The screen has developed black lines horizontally across the screen and has a watery quality to it. It is really evident in faces and sky pictures. It is not displaying in HD.
This is the same problem I had in November of 2006.
There is no reason for something so expensive to be of such poor quality. If this repair doesn't take hold, I will be looking for restitution.
TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE2007-10-08
Do NOT buy a Samsung product especially their DLP TV's. I bought the 42 inch DLP model HL_R4266W and about 6 months after the 1 yr warranty expired, my TV started displaying a left shadow on the screen. What started as a one inch shadow has become 4 inches in 3 months. A cursory google seach shows other customers with same exact problem. I wrote 3 letters to Samsung's "customer service dept" and received zero replys. I finally was able to get someone on the phone who referred me to their exceptional customer relations departments. What a joke! The rep. "assisted" me by telling me I should have purchased an extended warranty and that if the TV was defective it would have been recalled by Samsung. When I asked how many defective TV's were required to demand a recall, she did not know the answer. She did "help" me by putting my complaint on a level 2 status. Wow. I can sleep better now. This will be the last Samsung product I or anyone I know will buy as they do NOT stand behind their product.

This tv is unbelieveable, The picture is great, the hd- dlp make the picture so real. You wont go wrong buying this tv.
Samsung DLP (Texas Instruments DLP Technology)2007-07-15
I believe this was the buy of the decade for me. Picture quality is great! Watch the LCD DLP because they can't touch the motion smoothness of a true DLP. If you don't need to hang your TV on a wall get a DLP. Better picture and the cost is less.
Great TV - I've had no problems2007-05-23
I purchased this television after researching all my HD options. It is the perfect balance or price, size,picture, and life span (of course, anticipating a lamp change). When I purchased it in June of 2006, the price was still $1499 at most places. A couple of points:
1. Great picture IF you use HD cables. I've gotten great performance out of three video game systems (PS2, Wii, 360) and an upconverting dvd player.
2. Buy an upconverting DVD player. It is so worth it. And use an HDMI cable with it.
3. The picture might take a little adjusting, but once you get it right, I think it offers more cinematic visuals than anything I've seen.
4. The sound quality is surprisingly good.
5. I haven't had any problems with the tv (although, I must say that mine is not hooked up to any tv signal and I only use it an average of 2 hours a day for movies and games). My understanding is that a lamp change is likely, but that overall, DLP has a longer life than any other HD format.

Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm. But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras. At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them. All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image. Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
